Units With Hydraulics

For hydraulically operated equipment, it is important to remember that a sudden hydraulic oil leak can cause serious injury, or even be fatal if the pressure is high enough.

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Keep hands and body away from pinholes which eject fluid under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be immediately removed by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

NOTICE: Wear safety glasses, and keep face clear of area when bleeding air from hydraulic system to avoid spraying oil into eyes.

Overview

Theory of Heat Fusion

The principle of heat fusion is to heat two surfaces to a designated temperature, and then fuse them together by application of force. This pressure causes flow of the melted materials, which causes mixing and thus fusion. When the thermoplastic material is heated, the molecular structure is transformed from a crystalline state into an amorphous condition. When fusion pressure is applied, the molecules from each thermoplastic part mix. As the joint cools, the molecules return to their crystalline form, the original interfaces are gone, and the fitting and pipe have become one homogeneous unit. A strong, fully leak tight connection is the result.

The principal operations include: Clamping The pipe pieces held axially to allow all subsequent

operations to take place.

Facing The pipe ends must be faced to establish clean,

parallel mating surfaces perpendicular to the centerline of the pipes.

Aligning The pipe ends must be aligned with each other to

minimize mismatch or high-low of the pipe walls.

Heating A melt pattern that penetrates into the pipe must be

Overview

Introduction to the Electric Pump (EP) Fusion Machines

The McElroy DynaMc® Electric Pump (EP) fusion machines are hydraulically operated fusion machines designed to fuse thermoplastic pipe.

When fusing thermoplastic pipe materials, refer to the pipe manufacturer's fusion procedures or appropriate joining standard.

The 28 model fuses 2" IPS (63mm) through 8" DIPS (225mm) maximum pipe.

The 412 model fuses 4” IPS (110mm) minimum to 12" DIPS (340mm) maximum pipe.

The 250 model fuses 63mm (2" IPS) minimum to 250mm (8" DIPS) maximum pipe.

The 28 Sidewall fuses branch saddles up to 8" DIPS outlet with up to 9 5/8" diameter base on any size main. All models utilizes the Electric Pump (EP) Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) to provide hydraulic power to the machines.

TX03092-04-08-14

Carriage Assembly

The DynaMc EP carriage assemblies are available in a 4-Jaw, 2-Jaw and sidewall models and are operated by the DynaMc EP Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU).

The 4-Jaw EP carriage assembly consists of two fixed jaws and two hydraulically operated movable jaws bolted to a skid.

For fittings, the inner fixed jaw can be connected to the movable jaws on the carriage for a 3 movable 1 fixed jaw configuration.

The 2-Jaw EP carriage assembly consists of one fixed jaw and one hydraulically operated movable jaw bolted to a skid.

The 28 Sidewall EP machine can also be used with the EP HPU. The 28 Sidewall Ep has one movable jaw and a tailstock that

attaches to the main. The carriage attaches to the main by the use of chain clamps.

CD00829-4-7-10CD00830-4-7-10CD00828-4-7-10

Overview

DynaMc EP Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU)

The DynaMc EP HPU consists of three main hydraulic components:

1. Power pack - Consists of a capacitor start electric motor and gear pump that are submerged in the fluid reservoir to aid in cooling and reduce noise.

2. Hydraulic accumulator - Allows the power pack to cycle on and off to meet the demands of the hydraulic system, which reduces noise and power consumption.

3. Carriage manifold assembly - Standard McElroy design for familiar operation and common service parts with other McElroy equipment.

There are two pressure gauges on the HPU. The pressure gauge above the carriage directional valve displays fusion pressure. The pressure gauge on the rear left side of the HPU displays main system pressure, which will fluctuate between approximately 1600 psi - 2900 psi as the power pack cycles on and off.

The main power switch for the HPU is located on the front side of the electrical box. Next to the power switch is a digital volt meter that displays incoming voltage to the HPU. On the bottom side of the electrical box is a motor circuit breaker.

Electric motors are not explosion proof. Operation of these components in an explosive atmosphere will result in serious injury or death.

Power Pack Manifold Block

The DynaMc EP HPU's power pack has three factory preset valve adjustments:

1. Valve "N" is adjusted completely in (clockwise).

2. Valve "DR" is adjusted completely out (counter-clockwise).

3. The non-labeled valve is the main system pressure relief valve that

protects against over-pressurization.

NOTICE: These valves are properly set at McElroy and should never be re-adjusted.

Overview

Heater

Heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater in an explosive atmosphere without necessary safety precautions will result in serious injury or death.

If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the explosive atmosphere for fusion.

The heater has a green indicator light which will flash on and off. This indicates that the controller is operating normally. If the green indicator is not flashing then the controller may not be operating properly. If this occurs, disconnect power and have the heater repaired by a McElroy Authorized Service Center.

The heater temperature is controlled by a microprocessor. It has a red indicator light on the handle at the bottom of the temperature scale. When the heater is plugged in and preheating the light glows steadily until the set temperature is reached. The light then goes off and on slowly as the heater maintains temperature.

The heater body is not coated. Coated butt fusion heater plates are available for all butt fusion applications.

NOTICE: The heater should never be used without butt fusion heater plates installed.

To prevent a build-up of plastic pipe residue from accumulating on the heater plates (loss of surface temperature and pipe sticking may result), the heater plates should be cleaned with a nonsynthetic cloth before every fusion joint.

A) The carriage control valve, mounted on the top of the

manifold, determines whether the carriage is moving left, right,

or is in neutral. B) A 1500 psi gauge is mounted on top of the manifold. C) The selector valve, mounted on the front of the manifold,

selects a reduced pressure from one of the pressure reducing

valves. Each pressure reducing valve is labeled with a different function. IMPORTANT: These functions are labeled for standard butt fusion.

For saddle fusion the top valve is used for fusion pressure, the middle valve for heat/soak pressure and the bottom valve for initial heat (bead-up) pressure.

D) The top valve adjusts pressure to a maximum of 400 psi. E) The middle valve adjusts pressure to a maximum of 400 psi. F) The bottom valve adjusts pressure to a maximum of 1500 psi.

Inserting Heater

The heater is not explosion proof. Operation of heater in an explosive atmosphere without necessary safety precautions will result in serious injury or death.

If operating in an explosive atmosphere, heater should be brought up to temperature in a safe environment, then unplugged before entering the explosive atmosphere for fusion.

Use a clean nonsynthetic cloth to clean the butt fusion heater adapter surfaces.

Verify heater temperature by noting the reading on the dial thermometer.

Place the heater on the main centered beneath the fitting base, and then place the Flexible Heat Shield between the heating tool and the fitting base. (This step usually requires an assistant to handle the Flexible Heat Shield).

IMPORTANT: A heat shield may not be required for fittings 3" and smaller.

Special Operations

- Saddle Fusion Procedure

Heat Pipe and Fitting

Move selector valve to the bottom position. Move the fitting against the Flexible Heat Shield under bead-

up pressure, and observe melt bead formation on the main all around the heater faces. When a melt bead is first visible on the main all around the heating tool faces, in a quick continuous motion, open the carriage slightly and remove the Flexible Heat Shield.

Move the fitting against the heater face and start the heat time. When a melt bead is first visible all around the fitting base (usually about 3 to 5 seconds) immediately move the selector valve to the middle position to reduce pressure to the heat soak pressure (usually drag). Wait for the pressure to drop to drag pressure then shift the control valve to neutral. Maintain the heat soak pressure according to the pipe fitting manufacturer's recommendations or appropriate joining standard.

PH04114-3-30-10

TX04042-4-12-10

Hydraulic Fluids

The use of proper hydraulic fluid is mandatory to achieve maximum performance and machine life. Use a clean, high quality, anti-wear hydraulic fluid with a viscosity index (VI) of 135 minimum. It should have a maximum viscosity of 500 cSt (2000 SSU) at startup (ambient temperature) and a minimum viscosity of 13 cSt (65 SSU) at the maximum fluid temperature (generally 80°F above ambient). Using hydraulic fluids that do not meet these criteria may cause poor operation and/or damage to the hydraulic components.

The following table specifies the fluid temperature at various viscosities. Temperature rise of the hydraulic fluid can vary from 30° F to about 80° F over the ambient temperature depending on the pressure setting, age of the pump, wind, etc. Mobil Univis N46 hydraulic fluid is installed at our factory. The advantage of this fluid is a wider temperature range, however, this fluid should not be used for continuous operation below 24°F.

NOTE: The Mobil DTE 10 Excel series replaced the DTE 10M Series. The Exxon Univis N series are now Mobil Univis N.
